The first list of 52 candidates for the 2023 Telangana Assembly Elections was released by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday.

T Raja Singh, who was suspended earlier today for making derogatory remarks about the Prophet Mohammed, has been put forward to run from the Goshmahal constituency. Karimnagar constituency’s Sanjay Kumar Bandi will join the race.

Huzurabad and Gajwel are the two constituencies from which Rajender Eatala will contest. In Gajwel, Etala, a former member of the Telangaa Rashtra Samithi (now Bharat Rashtra Samithi), would spar with KCR, the Telangana Chief Minister, and the leader of his previous party.

Currently serving members of parliament, Sanjay Kumar Bandi, a former president, Bapu Rao Soyam, and Arvind Dharmapuri are among the three contenders on the list. Soyam is expected to run from Boath in the upcoming election, and Dharmapuri from the Korutla seat.

Under the direction of Jagat Prakash Nadda, the BJP’s Central Election Committee met on Friday and decided on the names. During the meeting were Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On October 15, the opposition Congress unveiled its initial list of 55 candidates for the Telangana elections, including former president of the Telangana Congress Uttam Kumar Reddy of Huzurnagar and head of the party’s state unit Anumula Revanth Reddy of Kodangal.

There are four state-based Lok Sabha MPs for the BJP. Another MP whose name is not on the first list is G Kishan Reddy, the state president and union minister. The Congress is fighting hard as well, but the BJP is making a lot of effort to become the primary rival to the ruling BRS.

Elections for the Telangana Assembly are scheduled for November 30. Results will be declared on December 3. There are 35,356 polling places in the state in total; 14,464 of them are in urban areas and 20,892 are in rural areas.
